Pretty surprised to see Kimi stay in F1 and not retire with all the newbies coming up. But I will say that I am rather looking forward to Verstappen vs Leclerc assuming that the Honda engine holds together for next year.

Biggest unknown now is what happens to Force India with Daddy Stroll buying everything. I am betting Ocon gets the shit end of the stick there, hopefully he can keep a seat at Williams for the time being as long as Kubica can keep his grubby hands off of it. Then eventually push Merc to give him a drive once Bottas or Hamilton are done with the spot.

I think it has to do with Sauber being headquartered near his home/kids in Switzerland. I also heard some rumors that he may become part owner in the team, so maybe that has something to do with it too. Happy to see Kimi stay in F1, but that's a lot of pressure on Leclerc. The tifosi aren't exactly the most forgiving group of fans.
